Default Re: Meet The Beetles?

VW's are way cool! I have been going to Farmington raceway in NC. for several years to watch the bug bashes since my daughter wanted a VW for her first car in 2006. VW's are no joke! the Pro Stock bugs run at 8lb per cube (i think) and turn in the low 6's at 110 in the 1/8, maybe faster now. I remember watching Shavers and Lee run A/modified compact in the 80's on the IHRA circuit and kick some butt! I saw the Evil Beetle at Farmington a year ago still bracket racing! The first time I saw a bug drag car It was a time trial with the A/MCP against my brothers 2 ton super stock wagon and it kicked his butt and removed the grin off my face. I had no clue that doodle bug was a rocket! Never laugh at a Bug! Don Jackson
